I dunno...... just need a meter of positive cable to hook it upchucked in the turbo side airbok and ta da!!! done....in a few weeks im going to get a proper battery relocation thingy, although mines solid as and it doesnt move and looks neat.... and im going to powder coat the airbox and pipe and get a black silicone joiner, I thought I did but I obviously brought a blue one :(anyway took me about an hour, I hope it sounds crazy on 16psi booooooost inside theres a massive K&N filter about the same size as what was in my Blue power airbox Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73532-fg-new-intake-and-battery-relocate/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap insurance anyway, Find a bolt close by the battery tray to use a ring terminal on, that way you dont have to molester the car.

Really easy to go back to stock, I didn't join any cables, I re routed them etc...

Any more pics? as I'm keen to do this too. Cheers.

Member 1,008 Member For: 15y 4m 7d Gender: Male Posted 21/03/11 11:41 PM Author Share Posted 21/03/11 11:41 PM Factory starter cable goes from starter to battery the long way, so I have re routed it to the new location, there is also a cable from positive to the fusebox, I made a new one of these 1.1m of cable and an end. I re used the earth cable but moved that to a new location on passengers side, it's easy for me to return back to stock I needed.
